TTC - Clomid Part 3

[stac14]

Follow on from the old thread for people trying to conceive using fertility treatments.

hi all.

fairy - the whole family thing always seems more magnified over christmas. Hope boxing day with all the "baby" talk isn't too tough for you. Enjoy your chilled day

stac - hope the morning sickness dies down for you, did you get it with your last pregnancy? I was lucky in that I didn't have any

ven - I agree with the girls in that a glass of wine is ok, I went to a christmas do last night and had a couple, I think I get to a point when I know I'm not preg and have a few glasses in defiance. Think if you don't want a drink though you need to be politely firm in refusing - tough at this time of year

jobo and millymolly - how are you both?

We'll I have a slight heavy head from the wine and dancing last night and now have to face a big tidy up and cook ready for DD's secret santa party. Got 13 kids coming!! yikes!

Hey jobo it's freezing here and I think the worst of the snow is still to come, DP keeps saying he wants a white christmas but I keep telling him that could mean being snowed in and getting no dinner quite right for sticking to baileys flavoured baby dust, I'm just jealous lol

clure I am back to wearing the sea bands for travel sickness so its died down a bit. I did have morning sickness with ds but I think it was all the time whereas this time it only seems to be every few days, luckily! I am lcuky compared with the women that are really ill right enough. Good luck with all those kids for a party lol. DS is still at school till tomorrow so he is getting a panto today and a party tomorrow, means I get the last minute stuff finished

Hows everyone else today? all good I hope xxxx

Hi all,

It's bloody freezing here - went for nap this afternoon & dh felt he'd join me so not much napping happened!!!!

Glad you had a good time last night Clur. Shame I missed it - money is rather tight at the mo!

I've got a really possitive feeling that this is our month so I've really got my fingers crossed.

Keep the Bailey's Baby dust flowing ***

hi stac and clure and everone got my fingers crossed i get my af in the next couple of days so i can start my clomid if not i have to provera. its cold here and a lot of snow. my two year old twins are loveing the snow its good to see them out in the snow they have never seen snow. even low we leave in scotland where its cold most of the time

Good on you fairy make the most of your hols lol, Its freezing here too, thank goodness its the last day of school so ds and I can vegout before the festivities begin

millymolly wow your wee yins must be loving the snow, I suppose they would have been to young to go out in it when it snowed in february . Not long till af now, what dose of clomid are they starting you on?

clure how did the party go? are you shattered?

How are you jobob and ven? All good I hope

baileys and chocolate flavoured baby dust (for those not drinking lol)to everyone **

hiya

stac - yes was tired out after the party and spent sooo long cleaning up bolognese from the floor and wiping sticky finger marks from walls etc. Still they had a fab time and all very excited, 13 kids the eldest 8 down to 12months!

fairy - yes you missed a treat at the 80's party,(thinking of that lead singer shoe horned into her pvc outfit ) still it was an expensive night! you go girl!

got a bit more shopping to do, have just done body combat at the gym, my first time doing the class, blimey it was fast and furious!!

babbbbbbby dust xxxxxxxxxxx

Sounds like a roaring success clure, was santa there? you have put me in the mood for bolognese though lol I'm having pasta bake instead. I love 80's music, did you 2 organise it? Dont know if I have asked before but what do you and fairy* teach?

Shopping all done, stuff all wrapped so all I have to do is sit back and wait for mil to feed me xx

Hi stac - I teach year 5 (9-10 year olds) While Clure is our fab music teacher!

DH has gone into Horn over drive! Told him he'll have to wait till tomorrow lol!

On the xmas front only have Dh present to get - gonna do that tomorrow!

bailey's & chocolate baby dust *

hi stac iwas ment to get them today not hear i wait till thurs and if they have not come i start takeing provera. i am on 50mg thats what i was on the last time when i fell preg with the twins. hoe are u geting on

Hi Milly Thats the amount I'm on & I've just finished cycle 5 last night. Now's the count down to ovulation...whenever that happens!!!!

santa baby dust ***

Do you have a supply of provera milly the doc gave me them on prescription because I had to keep using them for af lol. I'm good thanks hun, will be 11 weeks this week can't believe it

fairy thats my sons age, he is going into hormonal overdrive at the moment it's like living with kevin and perry any suggestions as to how i stop the moods lol xx

stac - lol at your hormonal son! They can be a bit of a challenge at that age, I have to say I prefer the younger children. I only organised the children's secret santa, although santa himself was absent feeding reindeer I suspect!

Fairy and millymolly maybe this is your lucky cycle

I've just finished making DD an angel costume for her to wear to the nativity on Christmas eve at the church attached to DD's school. I'm so excited about it. The costume was a bargain, bought a white sheet at the charity shop for £1 and run it up on the sewing machine, just got to stitch some silver sparklies round the neckline.
Finished my shopping today and just got a couple more things to wrap plus a final hoover and tidy of house

massive amounts of sparkly babydust xxxxx

stac - I'm afraid I have no advice - they go from one extream to the other. Although girls get their hormones first boys are terrible. I think it's training for adults. They can't look for things properly, get humpy easily & generally moody! This year group is when they start getting a little smelly too!

Clur - I really do hope this is the month! Really don't want to go down the IUI route! I want the Clomid to work!!!!!

euw smelly boy, hes not like that yet but think thats cos I make him bathe all the time lol. other than that you actually described ds to a tee fairy, he went from a mild mannered boy to a stroppy wee sod lol ohh the joys

Well done clure on making your own costume for the nativty, I was in asda last week and burst out laughing, they had actual virgin mary costumes complete with baby. Nativity at our school consisted to tea towels over your head and some fake beards lol

I hope you all get your time soon ladies you all deserve it xxxx

ye stac got provera . thank u everone for support.hopeing my af comes in the next couple of days i was due them today

Hi all

DS is 5 1/2 and the testosterone is already kicking in. So glad he won't smell for a few years!

Well, thats me all organised, food bought, pressies all wrapped, friends visited, house kind of tidy and one egg waiting for fertilisation. Do you think Santa can help with that Xmas pressie ??!!!

Hi Jobo - Ditto for all the above xmas prep, including egg!!! I'm hoping that'll be my xmas present as it's too late for a positive test. Fertilised egg would be perfect. It's what DH is hoping for too!

Hi fairy
I had my scan yesterday and only one follicle this time, but its huge, 27mm x 25mm (its been quite an education how big follicles can get, no wonder we get so twingey!) and you only need one, so they gave me my jab and I should be o'ing tonight. just as well as DH is at work tomorrow and there would be no chance xmas day! Fingers crossed for us all, xxx

Hi all,
Not even nearly ready for Christmas but enjoying last hour of peace before we head out the door to MIL.

Started the Clomid last night, rang the clinic to tell them and got told off as I can't have my scan on a Bank Holiday...didn't think it was worth explaining that the timing wasn't by choice!!

Work sent me on an 8 hour round train trip on Tuesday and I've only just thawed out, think DH was a bit puzzled when I came back with a large bottle of Baileys! After the last 4 hours on the train thinking about what I would like to do to warm up, Baileys and a hot water bottle in bed seemed the only answer.

Thanks for all the advice about drinking-a glass of wine sounds like a good idea now I think about MIL...?

Also got my IUI talk letter through today for February, keeping everything crossed I won't need to go.

Glittery Baileys baby dust to all......!

Hi everyone, good luck with the xmas bding and the arrival of af for those waiting

Hope you all have a fantastic christmas and get loads of lovely presents

Nadolig Llawen (thats happy christmas in welsh!) to you all.
Just been to the nativity service at the church attached to DD's school. DD dressed in the angel costume that I made her and she SUNG her heart out (love "little donkey"!!)
Wishing you all a lovely time xxx

happy christmas to all!

Hope you all get some bd-ing over the holiday period.
Boxing day should be the beginning of my fertile period so will spend the next few days in bed. As hosp won't give me a scan I have to try to guess it for myself.

What days are we all on?
I'm CD 9.

Hope Santa brings us all so hope for 2010 being our year!!!
